Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United midfielder, Juan Mata, says teammate Bruno Fernandes is \u2018sick\u2019 about football and talks about the game a lot.<\/p>\n

Mata said sometimes he tells Fernandes that he is too heavy and to shut up because he knows everything, comparing him with the club\u2019s former player, Ander Herrera.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea star said this ahead of Man United\u2019s Premier League final day fixture against Crystal Palace on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBruno is football sick. Sometimes I tell him: \u2018You\u2019re too heavy, shut up!\u2019,\u201d Mata told The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Bruno, I speak a lot about football, he knows a lot of players, he knows everything, kind of like Ander Herrera was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fernandes has been one of the stars of the season for Man United, scoring ten goals and registering six assists in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

But the campaign has been a disappointing one for the Red Devils, who are set to finish sixth in the Premier League table as they face Crystal Palace in the last game of the season.\u2019<\/p>\n
